They haven’t gone away. Plenty of Quake 3 Arena servers still up and running. If not Quake 3 Arena, then Xonotic is still pretty active with more modern visuals and pretty good graphics.
I was always more a ut2k4 guy. I need to spend a weekend tracking down and installing the linux binary for that game. But even then the most active servers just play the same few maps. I could play some FaceClassic, but not for hours on end.
I’m also working on fixing an old gamepad I use to use for these games. Unlike ones that use cherry based switches, this one just uses those small, tactile switches with crazy small travel distance.

It came on disc. As for patches, there were Linux-specific patches. When I tried some years ago, the game worked after deleting / remaining some shipped libraries and replacing them with system ones. Though today, Wine might be a better choice. I think the Windows version supports OpenGL as well so there’s no need for DXVK.
You can still rocket jump in Destiny2 arena pvp, well grenade, but same feel. Fun way to be Death from Above if you are a more punchy character than the floaty kind.
Quest 3 is amazing, and 3S is super affordable. Both are well worth it. The only drawback is that you have to suck Zuck’s dick to get them. But eh, it’s tiny.

I wasn’t going to play a hero shooter anyway, but fuck this. I just want to go back to arena shooters, server browsers and no stat tracking.
oldUnreal is a thing.

You cant even type the number “1989” or “Dalai Lama” or “Winnie the Pooh”. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad.
ah
I too yearn for the Quake 3 days.

There are launchers with the danger zone perk too
Yes, right! But ammo is precious in PvP so most use Mountaintop for the lulz
There’s a super tiny but somewhat active Quake 3 VR community. It’s awesome.
Quake 3 in VR?! That’s interesting.
Yeah, it works really well. Here’s some gameplay footage.
This looks like a blast! Makes me want a VR headset just for this lol.
